abstract = "Interactive media is typically based on the idea of change. One creates a stimulus for the computer, which then gives a response. Changing the computer's response is determined by modifying its input. Wu Wei is the fundamental Taoist principle meaning {"}without action.{"} When applied to an interactive artwork, this concept creates an oxymoron. Here, the intention is to act without acting. Wu Wei is both a non-interactive and interactive installation that uses computer vision as its control device. This piece is designed to question a participant's conceptions about interactive art, the pace of 21 st century life, and digital media.",
